Sustainability Report 2021/22

Value Created for the Environment Encouraging the Public to Go Green We are dedicated to fostering awareness of the environment, climate change and sustainability among customers, tenants, students and our staff. We have education centres at our shopping malls, such as HomeSquare, Landmark North, and host environment-themed workshops and seminars. An eco-walkway at the Leighton Hill housing estate introduces the development’s green facilities. This year marked a decade of our support of Green Power’s Love Nature Campaign, in which staff volunteer teams clean up coastal and countryside areas. During the reporting year, approximately 450 SHKP volunteers collected about 900kg of waste. An online campaign, Be a STEM & Eco-friendly YouTuber, was launched during the pandemic. To further promote environmental awareness, we also launched a reward scheme via the Nature Rescue app to motivate users to join clean-ups and report rubbish blackspots. This year, we continued to participate in WWF’s Earth Hour, supporting the worldwide lights-off campaign for a 14th consecutive year. Over 300 of our owned or managed properties turned off their lights for an hour, promoting energy conservation and green living. To promote green living, 38 of our managed properties have urban farms. Grand YOHO residents can apply for an allotment and learn to garden with professional guidance. At YOHO Midtown, theme zones are featured in the Apollo ECO PARK. This year, the park won Gold Award in the Property Management (Residential) category in recognition of its innovative efforts to promote environmental protection. At YOHO Urban Farm at the YOHO Mall, we team up with organic-farming organizations to share knowledge on farming and green living. We produce more than 100 varieties of crops every year and visitors can learn about seasonal fruits and vegetables via guided tours. We support low-carbon transport in the community by promoting the use of electric vehicles and, to date, have installed nearly 1,000 EV charging facilities at 165 buildings in our portfolio. This will contribute to reducing GHG emissions and creating a green-living environment. We promote sustainable living to customers and tenants. During the reporting year, we held more than 80 green events at shopping malls, attracting approximately 2,500 people. We hosted green art workshops for schools and NGOs, and an organic gardening workshop for staff. Tai Po Mega Mall organized green-living classes while New Town Plaza hosted green seminars and outdoor events for tenants and staff. At Wonderland Villas, our property management team engaged residents to be Green Living Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) and shared information on sustainable practices through online videos in multiple languages. Meanwhile, we provided technical advice to tenants on resource conservation and waste minimization. We encouraged new tenants to reuse decorations and equipment from existing tenants in shopping malls and offices. Kai Shing’ Live e-asy app enables e-registration and e-payment, which reduces paper usage and increases efficiency. Our efforts to create green commercial and residential environments have earned external recognition.
